It came to my attention
How much hard life can be
When I was very young
It was hard to see
All I wanted was to be older
Now that I am older
I want to be younger again
I would of done things differently
I would of enjoyed life better
I would of said better things
Made life simpler
I would of listened better
And done the right things
Instead, I chose the wrong path
Went my separate way
Ended up in trouble
Addicted to so many things

I chose to change my ways
Get a better perspected on life
Change my attitude and outlook
Show others I'm a different man
I no longer want to go back
To the place where I was
It was a dark place
Filled with hate
No love in me
Not for anyone
Now I do really care
For my friends and family
There was a time
When they didn't want
Anything to do with me
Changing is so much wiser
Than living a hallow life
